IMPORTANT: The chilled water system piping and heat exchangers must be drained completely, and then purged using compressed air when storing or transporting at or below freezing temperatures.

IMPORTANT: Operating the chilled water system at the higher end of the acceptable range decreases the overall thermal capacity of the POD.
